This book has been on our wishlist for a long time and last week we found it for 50p on a stall at the street party we went to. The Carrot Seed by Ruth Krauss (with pictures by Crockett Johnson) is a lovely story about a little boy who plants a carrot seed and carries on weeding and watering it despite everyone saying it wouldn't come up. Finally 'a carrot came up, just as the little boy had known it would'.

Thank you for the mailbox kindness :) That book is a great find! I'll have to keep my eye out for it while out garage saling. I bet kids would be much more likely to eat their vegetables if they helped to grow it! And having a book about it really ties it all together.
